     I lived most of my life in California, living a mile or 2 away from Disneyland, in Colton, and for the most part, in Riverside. I lived a life of ease with 2 wonderful parents, one is a civil engineer that works for the city. I really liked his job, because that meant that I could do all sorts of cool stuff like climbing 30 foot water tanks and looking down inside them. My mom is currently an elementary school librarian and seminary teacher. I have one older, boring, married sister, Heidi, and her husband is Brad. My younger sister Crystal just graduated from high school. I have 2 brothers, Chris (quartorze ans) and Patrick (douze ans). We made a nice little musical Partridge kindof family. Sometimes we would all burst into song. It was really scary to our friends when we would all start the same song at the same time. They thought we lived a musical kind of life where everyone was singing and dancing all the time.

     I was a band nerd in high school. I played a few instruments and tried at a few more. I suppose the main instrument I played was the french horn, and I loved to march with the melophone (partially because I could play as loud and wrong as I wanted and no one could hear me). I even got a solo once, and I didn't even mess it up! By high school I already had a love for cooking and sewing, and it is where I got the nickname "Muffin ma'am", because muffins were my favorite thing to bring to seminary. Plus I hung out with guys nicknamed "Wonderbread" and "Philly Mint Free". I was involved in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and still am. I love it and know it to be true (how else would I end up in Idaho?)

     After graduating from high school as valedictorian, I attended 2 years as a kind of business student at the University of California Riverside. Where I met some of the most awesome friends that I think I could find if I traveled the world looking. Although my education was slightly lacking. And now am a kind of business student at Brigham Young University Idaho (they'll have to compete for the longest college name). I plan on serving a mission, and graduating with a degree in business and in economics with a minor in culinary arts (they have to let me into the program first).
